HBO Boss Shares New Update About ‘Harry Potter’ TV Series

So, picture this: HBO Max was all geared up to bring us a brand-spankin’ new Harry Potter TV series. But wait! In a plot twist worthy of a J.K. Rowling novel, Casey Bloys, the studio’s head honcho, decided to wave his magic wand and poof! The show is now flying under the HBO banner. Yes, you read that right. HBO Max is now the platform-that-shall-not-be-named, and Harry’s hopping over to the big leagues.

Why, you ask? Well, our dear wizards at the studio wanted to make it crystal clear that thereโ€™s a big difference between an HBO show and a Max show. Casey Bloys, the Grand Wizard of Content, said, “We felt like we had to delineate between an HBO show and a Max show. The idea of using Warner Bros. IP as a delineation for Max felt right. At least that gives you a clear lane.” Translation: We wanted to make sure you knew which platform to blame if things went sideways.

But hereโ€™s where the potion gets a bit murky. The Chief Content Officer, aka The Great Wizard of Binge-Watching, revealed, “But as we started producing those shows, we were using the same methods, the same kind of thinking, as how we would approach HBO shows. In a lot of cases, the same talent that has worked on HBO shows.” Basically, they were cooking with the same ingredients but decided to serve the dish on a different plate.

“What we ended up with are shows that look amazing, with great narratives and the talent we’ve worked with,” he added, while probably twirling his wand. “The idea of the delineation kind of started to feel unnecessary. Like, why are we doing this? Let’s just call them what they are: HBO shows.” And just like that, the delineation spell was broken, and all was well in the kingdom of TV land.
